Switch, break, and continue

By default, switch executes every case where the case evaluates as true when compared with the value.The break and continue keywords may be used within the switch statement to control when testing should stop.

• When break is used in a case, the switch statement ends.
• When continue is used, and the value is a scaler, the switch statement ends.
• When continue is used and the value is an array, moves to the next element.

break is often most appropriate if the value is a scalar; continue when the value is an array. However, either may be used as needed.The switch statement will not stop testing conditions unless the break keyword is used. In the example below, all conditions are tested:

$value = 1
switch ($value) {
    1 { Write-Host 'value is 1' }
    1 { Write-Host 'value is still 1' }
} 

The example above will show the output below:

value is 1
value is still 1

In the following example, where switch is acting on an array, both statements...
